Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 214 Strict Review
Xu Wuyi also needs to report this matter to Elder Liu, so that this discerning man who recognizes heroes can also be pleased.

After leaving the "Council Hall", Li Yunjing went directly back to "Qiwu Manor".

He still didn't know how Void One would handle the subsequent matters.

Anyway, Li Yunjing trusted Xu Wuyi's abilities, so he didn't bother with these trivial matters.

Back at his home, Li Yunjing did nothing but sleep soundly for three days and three nights.

On the fourth day, Li Yunjing got up full of energy.

Upon returning this time, Li Yunjing did not contact any of his friends or fellow disciples.

He did not contact Lü Ruoxi or Fu Chao.

Since advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm, Li Yunjing has found that he seems to have not enough time.

When I was a menial disciple, my work was finished for the day.

He still had the energy to chat and joke around with Ma Xingyuan.

Feeding horses is a dirty and tiring job, but it gives you plenty of free time.

Back then, cultivation was simple; one or two hours of meditation each day was enough.

If he did any more, Li Yunjing wouldn't have enough energy to continue cultivating.

After reaching the outer sect, he still had time to have a few drinks with friends every few days, and for his cultivation, one night was enough each time.

Even when he was in the inner sect, Li Yunjing already had the feeling that there wasn't enough time.

During his time in the inner sect, Li Yunjing had already mastered quite a lot of skills.

His own cultivation techniques, supernatural powers and spells, various arts of cultivation, crafting, talisman making...

In short, there are too many places where time is spent.

Even if you were to review all those techniques, three days and three nights wouldn't be enough.

If Li Yunjing were to seriously go into seclusion, he would focus on cultivating one aspect rather than trying to learn everything he had learned.

This is also why inner disciples work for half a month and rest for half a month.

The sect had already considered this aspect.

Now that Li Yunjing has advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, his studies are taking up even more time.

Any one of the systems is enough for Li Yunjing to cultivate for ten days to half a month.

Even if Li Yunjing were given a year, it wouldn't be enough to review all the knowledge he had acquired.

This is why high-level cultivators appear less frequently; everyone lacks the time.

Why do some Foundation Establishment cultivators ignore you and wish you would leave as soon as they finish their business? It's because they don't have enough time for themselves!

Now, Li Yunjing has the same feeling.

"It's not that they're aloof or look down on lower-level cultivators, it's just that they don't have the time!"

Li Yunjing sighed.

After advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm, Li Yunjing's sect missions will definitely not be once a year as before; perhaps he will be required to carry out a mandatory mission once every eight or ten years.

As for daily tasks, it depends on your needs.

If you don't care about the sect's contribution points and resources, you can choose not to perform the sect's daily tasks.

Li Yunjing held a lucrative position, responsible for purchasing supplies for the "Seven Star Palace." Such a job was highly sought after, and Li Yunjing naturally had no intention of giving it up.

This task must continue.

As for having only Jin Shouyun and Su Guo under his command, he was somewhat isolated and outnumbered.

Given Li Yunjing's current status, he should at least recruit a few outstanding inner disciples and train them.

When there are tasks available, you can delegate some tasks to them.

Only in this way can you free yourself from your busy tasks.

Among the remaining people around him, Yue Zhouwang, Hou Boyan, Ma Ye, and others were also capable of being cultivated.

Li Yunjing was thinking of finding a time to meet with them and try to transfer them to his command.

These people didn't have any powerful backers or connections, and they weren't doing particularly well within the sect.

They would surely be very happy to join their ranks as future true disciples.

Outside of the sect, Li Yunjing still possessed some strength, but he hadn't visited the "Star Moon Trading Company" for a long time.

If I have the time and find an opportunity, I should still go and take a look.

With a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Feng Xueting overseeing things at "Star Moon Trading Company," plus the support of second-generation members like Fang Yuxuan from "Red Sun Valley," they should have no worries.

Li Yunjing's only concern was the resources available from the "Star Moon Trading Company".

We must find a time to go there and deliver a large sum of resources, enough to keep "Star Moon Trading Company" running for at least two more years.

Sitting in his study, Li Yunjing savored the spiritual tea he had brewed while planning what to do next.

As for the assessment of true disciples?

Li Yunjing really had no worries.

If he can't even pass this test, what face does he have to think about vying for power in the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect"?

“Li Yunjing! According to my map, you should go and pay your respects to the master of our ‘Seven Star Palace’.”

At this moment, Li Yunjing's communication talisman vibrated. He opened it and was taken aback.

Then, something from the void sent over a message and a map.

What kind of background does the master of the "Seven Star Palace" have?
Peak Golden Core Realm?
Or is it the legendary Nascent Soul Realm?
He must be a legendary Nascent Soul Realm expert!

I never expected that this time I would alarm such an important person!
In short, Li Yunjing's heart was pounding.

The importance that the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" placed on its true disciples far exceeded Li Yunjing's imagination.

Not daring to waste any time, Li Yunjing carefully examined the map that Xu Wuyi had sent him. This was the southernmost cliff of the "Seven Star Palace".

Normally, that place is a restricted area.

The jade slip bearing Li Yunjing's identity clearly states that he is not allowed to enter that place; otherwise, he will be eliminated without any room for negotiation.

Now, Li Yunjing is finally qualified to go and take a look over there.

After tidying up and making sure I looked presentable, I made sure I hadn't done anything improper.

Li Yunjing then left "Qiwu Mountain Villa" and wandered through the streets of "Seven Star Palace" all the way south.

Along the way, they also encountered several acquaintances, most of whom were Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Li Yunjing was preoccupied, so he forced a smile, gave a few perfunctory words, and continued on his way.

The other cultivators were also shrewd and immediately sensed that Li Yunjing had something on his mind.

Among cultivators, it's none of their business, so these acquaintances didn't ask any more questions and said their goodbyes and left.

Heading south, after leaving the "Seven Star Palace", we arrived at the southern cliff.

From afar, one could see a thick fog covering the distance.

Li Yunjing knew that there was a formation concealing the scene inside.

"Li Yunjing, a disciple of the Seven Star Palace, requests an audience with the Palace Master..."

Upon arriving here, Li Yunjing dared not venture into the mist.

He stood outside, gathered his energy, and spoke, transmitting the message forward.

Li Yunjing's voice echoed near the cliff for a long time.

After a long while, his voice faded away.

However, no sound came from inside. Just as Li Yunjing hesitated whether to shout again, the mist in front of him swirled, revealing a small blue stone path.

The path twists and turns forward, resembling a long, green snake amidst the rolling white mist.

Upon seeing the road, Li Yunjing was overjoyed, clearly indicating that the important figure inside had allowed him to enter.

"call……"

Letting out a long breath, Li Yunjing subconsciously straightened his clothes, bowed again, and then stepped forward onto the bluestone path.

In the entire fog, only this narrow path was visible, and even the three feet on either side of the path were not clearly visible.

Even when Li Yunjing used his divine sense to investigate, it was to no avail.

This scene once again sent a chill down Li Yunjing's spine.

This is the method of a big shot!

As expected, it's not something a Foundation Establishment Realm nobody can glimpse.

The path wasn't long; after walking about a mile, a simple courtyard appeared before Li Yunjing's eyes.

There are three or four thatched cottages and some flowers and plants in the courtyard, creating a leisurely rural atmosphere.

This was completely unexpected by Li Yunjing.

Is this where important figures live?
He had originally thought that the residence of important figures was a celestial palace or a heavenly palace.

To my surprise, the environment here was like that of an ordinary village, so simple that it was almost shabby.

Li Yunjing stood at the door, hesitant, not daring to easily step into this rural courtyard.

"coming?"

With a creak, the wooden door of a thatched hut was pushed open.

An elderly man with a serious expression, dressed in a sky-blue Bagua Taoist robe, walked out of the room.

"Disciple greets Senior!"

Li Yunjing stood outside the courtyard and bowed deeply.

As for whether the other party is the Palace Master?
Li Yunjing couldn't understand it and didn't dare to make a random claim, so he could only address the other party as "senior".

If you call the wrong person, that's considered breaking a taboo.

The less you say, the fewer mistakes you make. This time, Li Yunjing adhered to the principle of "you ask, I answer; you tell me what to do, I'll do it."

Important figures are not mere figments of the imagination. Li Yunjing was not familiar with the other party and naturally did not want to ruin his image in the other party's mind by saying the wrong thing.

"Well! Come in!"

The old Taoist priest stood at the door, glanced at Li Yunjing, and then walked to the flower bed next to him, picked up a watering can, and slowly watered the flowers.

"Yes……"

Li Yunjing responded and then slowly walked into the courtyard.

The courtyard of the senior master was very small, surrounded by flowers and plants, with only one narrow path, less than ten feet long.

Li Yunjing pushed open the small gate and stepped into the courtyard, then turned around and closed the gate.

Following the path, they arrived at a thatched hut, stood beside the senior expert, and waited cautiously for the important person to ask questions.

"Sigh! It's so uncomfortable to see important people!"

Li Yunjing stood obediently to the side, sighing inwardly.

Little did he know that the experienced elder seemed to have no interest in him and continued to water the flowers and weeds in a nonchalant manner.

No supernatural powers or magic were used throughout the entire process.

Just like an ordinary old farmer.

If he hadn't appeared on "Seven Star Peak," Li Yunjing would have mistaken him for an ordinary old man.

Li Yunjing looked at the planted flowers and plants and realized they were all ordinary plants and flowers, worldly things, and had no use for cultivators.

I wonder what quirks this important person has.

Li Yunjing didn't dare to ask and waited patiently without showing any impatience.

"Alright! Come inside with me."

The old man bent down by the pool, washed his hands, and then slowly spoke.

"Yes!"

Li Yunjing obediently replied and followed the old Taoist priest into the thatched hut he had come from.

The dimly lit little house was small and simply furnished, with a wooden table, four chairs, a wooden bed, and some everyday items such as pots, pans, and a stove.

Inside the room, there was no one as Li Yunjing had imagined; a figure was sitting on each of the three chairs.

In the dim light, the figures of these important people appeared somewhat sinister and terrifying.

The old Taoist priest sat down on the east side, and the four of them stared intently at Li Yunjing in the dimly lit room.

"Disciple Li Yunjing greets all seniors."

Li Yunjing, his mouth dry, quickly inquired about his well-being.

He really didn't expect that such a simple assessment would reveal so many experts.

These people were all extremely ordinary, no different from mortals.

Even Li Yunjing's aura seemed far stronger than these four.

However, Li Yunjing dared not be negligent in the slightest!

He was 100% certain that these were all important figures, possibly even Nascent Soul Realm figures!
The thought of four powerful figures at the Nascent Soul stage observing him made Li Yunjing's legs tremble.

Fortunately, he had some self-control and managed to maintain his image, preventing him from embarrassing himself in public.

The person sitting in the middle is facing Li Yunjing. This person is the master of this place, the master of the "Seven Star Palace".

This important figure appeared to be middle-aged, with regular features, exuding the air of a great man, radiating power and glory.

This person sat upright in the chair, exuding an aura of immovability and majestic grandeur without emanating any imposing presence.

The master of the "Seven Star Palace" was dressed in a robe with the seven stars and eight trigrams. He opened his eyes, and a faint glint of light flashed in them.

In that instant, Li Yunjing felt as if everything about him had been laid bare before him.

Li Yunjing's expression changed; this feeling made him feel as if he were naked and being observed by others.

This really made Li Yunjing feel quite uncomfortable.

This feeling is so intense!

Li Yunjing could guarantee that, apart from the secrets deep within his consciousness, everything about him had been seen through.

Every part of the body, organ, blood vessel, meridian, internal organs, and even the brain can be seen clearly.

Li Yunjing even doubted whether the other party could see through his "storage ring".

"That's interesting. Your spiritual root is different from what's recorded in the sect's records, isn't it?"

The master of the Seven Star Palace stood up, walked to the wall, and opened the window. A sliver of light shone into the room, making it much brighter.

This important figure put his hands behind his back, his eyes flashing with a cold light as he stared intently at Li Yunjing, as if he would execute him immediately if Li Yunjing dared to utter a single lie.

The heavy atmosphere made it almost impossible for Li Yunjing to breathe.

Li Yunjing's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but shiver. He hurriedly explained, "Senior! This disciple didn't know either! When I entered the sect, it was the sect members who personally examined me! I also thought my spiritual root was ordinary, but my subsequent cultivation was rapid, and I knew that I was not as simple as I thought!"

At this point, Li Yunjing dared not utter a single word of concealment.
